I bought this drink because it received favorable reviews from my favorite foodie Youtubers, EmmyMadeinJapan and CultMoo. (To be fair, CultMoo said it wasn't really good, but not truly bad either. Not a really favorable review, but they seemed interested in it.)
Right off the bat I have to say that I hate this packaging.
I know, I know, I just reviewed ice cream yesterday, but my sister was raving about this place and I was in the area.
During my visit I actually got to met the man in charge of this location and he treated me to a little lunch. (I did not tell him I was a food blogger, he was just really friendly and I think he wanted to share some of his appetizers with me. Plus I don't think the local residents have been to receptive to the flavors of India.)
I have been trying to find fresh persimmons for a long time! My grandfather was in the army and he ate them during his time in Japan. He described it as a fruit that looks like a tomato, but tastes sweet like strawberries. With that kind of description, I HAD to try it. All the Asian grocery shops in my area had dried persimmons, candied persimmons, and ones in jars. I wanted fresh ones, so when I happened to see them at Produce Junction I picked a few up.
